Is that the new ride height, or did you put the air bags in for ride quality? I would like to have rear air for a better ride empty, but not for lowering.

That last pic is all the way down. This system does lower the truck but the ride will be second to none.

Just looked at the pictures again & realized your truck is 2wd, I probably would have put it in the weeds too. Looks bad!

Looks like a nice setup and the slammed dually looks sweet. How much did the parts end up costing if you don't mind me asking?

I like it. Did you weld the top 4-link bracket to the frame, or did you use existing holes?
Since you have on-board compressors, what is the purpose of the air tanks? Are they for suspension compression volume?
What PSI do you expect to use?

The 4-link top bracket bolted on, Very user freindly. The compressors fill the tanks then the tanks in turn supply air to the manifold which fills and releases air from the airbags. Without the tanks it would take 5 + min to go from drop to lift with the tanks it takes all of 1 second.

The wheels are Driv by MHT. It may be getting a set of Brentz wheels so these can go on the dump truck.
